TTC and Beyond!

[frsttimemama]

I had my son June 25. It was nice having so much summer off. I was off 2 weeks before that thru the 1st week of August. It was nice. This time it will be fall, which will also be nice I will take any time! Lol

Happy Monday Ladies!

I am so OVER the winter too! I hate it, and its making potty training the puppy really hard and I just hate being cold.

I can't really catch up on everyone but I just skimmed through...My goal for this week is to be better at keeping up and participating lol!

Kara, those shoes are sooo cute!
Morgan, Molly - I'm thinking of both of you this week. I can't imagine how you are feeling but you both are so strong and I'm so glad you will soon have your miracles in your arms!
BB, yay for getting results and I hope they respond to your complaint seriously
Sandy, I don't know what type of diet you have to stay on but I am obsessed with this website www.dashingdish.com she has a lot of clean eating, low sugar recipes. I pay for a membership so if you see anything you like that you can't get the recipe for just let me know and I can send it to you. She does a lot of protein shakes and they are yummy!
Rachel, I'm glad you're enjoying your time at home with Ellie and that she is gaining weight!
Julie, I can't believe you've made it to 34 weeks. For some reason I thought they would come really early just because they are twins (I'm glad I was wrong). I bet you're glad you stopped working so early, so much less stressful!
Cass, Yay for seeing Zuri today...can't wait to see the pics

umm thats all i can remember. I hope I didn't miss anything really important.

 

[Ingodshand]

Hi girls! Just wanted to say Happy Monday to you all and I hope everyone has a great day!!

 

[morganwhite7]

Nikki- I will have to try that protein shake for this summer when I'm working off the baby weight! Sounds yum!!

Sarah- ANY DAY NOW! Ahh are you so excited? I can't wait to see pics of him.. I already feel like I'm living in a dream being so close.. I can't imagine how you feel!

Katrina- I'm glad you didn't temp, it's more suspenseful.. how do you feel today? I hope she stays away for you!!!

AFM- Happy Monday. After this week I'm full term and officially scared out of my mind. Baby shower Saturday. Holy crap this is really happening!!!

 

[Ingodshand]

Yay for being full term Morgan!! I seriously can not believe that I am in the single digits and my due date is next week! It feels like such a dream.

Been having some cramping and lots of BH contractions but nothing too exciting. I am just trying to rest up and maybe get DH to dtd tonight! Will see what my doctor says tomorrow and if I have made any progress.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Oh my gosh Morgan- You are so close!!! I bet it's surreal for you, but little Marley will be here before we know it!

Sarah- You are so close too!! I can't wait to see everyone's sweet babes!

 

[RobertRedford]

Hi ladies! Hope you're all well. took the weekend off BnB for my own sanity, got a ton done around the house, repainted, got new furniture (I made ikea my bitch, thank you very much!) and had some much needed "me" time.

Busy at work but I'll catch up wth you all later!

 

[morganwhite7]

Oooh Amanda, I made Ikea my bitch this weekend too!! Lol I was more excited over the Swedish meatballs, potato fritters, and lingenberry jam though!! Haha. I did find an awesome convertible crib for Marley though.. only $100. And a coffee table for $200, which I LOOOVE. Anyways, I hope you're feeling better love!

 

[morganwhite7]

Oh and p.s. I walked a million miles yesterday between Ikea and the Outlet mall.. Marley feels like she is about to FALL OUT.. so I hope I'm making progress. Was up all night with cramps too.. they hurt so bad I remember thinking that there's no WAY I'll be able to go without an epidural for the real thing lol. FX'd this is the start of the end! Been taking EPO vaginally a few nights in a row too.... we'll see this Thursday if it's worked at all.
Then my 1st membrane sweep early next week! Woot woot!

Okay shutting up now lol.

 

[RobertRedford]

LOL, Morgan. I was drooling at the ikea food but the smell of it made me sick. I'm still getting pretty bad MS so no meatballs for me I can't believe Miss Marley is going to be here so soon!

Kara and Rachel, i agree that it seems premature to do a d&c when I essentially had a CP. I mentioned this to my doctor who said that she would prefer I have a d&c so she can facilitate and oversee it, versus not completing it entirely at home and having issues later. I get it, but also see it as slightly invasive given that it was just soooo early.

Cassidy, Can't wait to see scan pics today!

Hugs to you, Sandy. Hope you're doing okay today.

Sarah, any movement? Evan still hanging in there?

AShlee, how are you?

Amanda, how are you?

Kara, those shoes are way cute. All of you are SO close to having your babies. SO crazy!

Rachel, how are things at home with miss E? are you able to rest? and are you still just mind blown that you created such an amazing little human being? I swear babies are better than any TV. I could watch them all day long.

I brought all of the gifts to work with me today and will be sending them today. I'll walk over to the post office on my lunch!

 

[TTCaWee1]

It is mind blowing that we created this little human. Even more so that she should still be in my belly for 3 more weeks. Last night she slept for 4 hours straight! It was great. She's been pukey though. Not sure what that's about but I'm going to burp her more and I gave her some gripe water, which she loved!

Oh and Morgan - I am pretty sure ikea put me in labor. That and working my ass off, but I'd like to think ikea had something to do with it bc I was soooo uncomfortable when we got home.

 

[morganwhite7]

That is AWESOME Rachel thanks for making my day!! Lol. And wow for 4 hours straight that's great! You are still BFing right.. did that med help your supply any?

And TMI but I lost a bunch of my mucous plug yesterday when we got back, and have been "emptying out" all night and morning. I was having contraction/cramps lastnight too. This is so exciting!!!

 

[RobertRedford]

holy crap, Morgan, I have a feeling that little miss M is going to be here sooner than we think!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Morgan- I never thought I would be jealous of someone else losing a mucus plug. LOL!! I'm so friggin uncomfortable! My mom will be in VT this weekend and DH is doing a casino trip (not over night but will be an hour away) so starting Sunday (37 weeks) I'm launching an all out attack! Sooooo exciting to have things start to move along though!!

Scan in the am to check growth! Does anyone know what kind of RLT you're supposed to drink? The only ones I can find have like hibiscus in them and stuff too?

 

[morganwhite7]

My tea has fennel, alfalfa, and rasp leaf in it.. Found this one (pure RLT) with free shipping though! Traditional medicinals is what I use too, love it.

And LOL about the mucous plug.. wasn't a bloody show though like I had last time at 36 weeks, so still not sure what's going on.. I'm so dang ready. She feels so low now, I think she's "dropped" but not sure.

 

[goldstns]

So exciting ladies!!

Alia seemed a bit better this morning. We put a Vicks rub in her chest last night. She was an AWESOME sleeper too!!! Didn't wake me up at all!! She fed at 830pm, went to bed and then I woke her up at 530am to feed before work/daycare.

 

[Ingodshand]

Morgan- I am so jealous too! I feel like he is just going to hang out in there forever! I wish I had an Ikea near me and I would go walking right now! As for “cleaning out”, I have literally been going 4-5 times a day for a few weeks now. However, it is now just diarrhea.. maybe that is a good sign!!

Amanda- I have gotten some contractions and a lot of BH, but nothing in a pattern that I could track. Just hoping he has made some progress tomorrow at my apt.

Rachel- Yay for little Ellie! She is so sweet!

Britt- I have felt like every day the last week has felt like it lasts forever! Might be that I have basically been done with work and I feel like I am just waiting for him to get here.

Kara- I hear ya! Being really uncomfortable started around 36 weeks and has only gotten worse

So I talked to my doctor who told me that all the methods to get baby out are old wives tales except for nipple stimulation. She said there have been studies that it actually can bring on labor but they do not recommend because it can make labor progress very quickly. So get to it ladies

 

[goldstns]

Oh...embarrassing moment of the day...my pants split!!

 

[RobertRedford]

oh my gosh, nikki, thats terrible! mine split a few weeks ago on my way to work, and i was late and couldn't go home to change. thank goodness for long sweaters! and thank goodness for good sleepers, thats awesome that Alia is still sleeping that well even with a cold!

Rachel, woohoo for 4 hours of sleep!

 

[Ingodshand]

Oh Nikki, that is just the worst! So sorry!!
